When Donald Duck gifts Uncle Scrooge a parrot that only counts instead of talks, Scrooge sees a chance to solve his ever-worsening memory problem—especially when the bird memorizes the combination to his safe.

When Donald Duck, Huey, Dewey, and Louie are whisked away to the lost city of Itsa Faka in ancient Persia, they stumble into a mystery as dry as the desert sands—where the royal family has been preserved in stasis for centuries.

Donald Duck takes his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie on a camping trip, only to run afoul of a reckless camper whose careless habits spark a wildfire.

When Huey, Dewey, and Louie visit Grandma Duck’s rural home, they’re overwhelmed by the stillness of the countryside—especially the silence at night.

Their unease grows when they discover a letter from one of Grandma’s creditors, sparking a mistaken belief that her farm is in danger.

When Donald Duck’s attempts to teach his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie the ways of the woods end in humiliating failure, he resorts to a clever ruse—tricking them into believing a bearskin rug is a real bear.

When Uncle Scrooge discovers that the hourglass he gave his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie is the true source of his fortune, he sets off on a wild chase across Africa to reclaim it.

When Donald Duck accidentally loses Daisy’s cherished heirloom brooch while trying to pawn it for circus tickets, he’s stunned to find it in the act of a mysterious quick-change artist at the big top.

In "You Can't Guess," Donald Duck sets a festive challenge for his nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie: if they can guess what he wants for Christmas, he’ll buy them the building set they’ve been dreaming of.
